Luka is a young sea creature who lives underwater with his family.

He's always been curious about the surface world, but has been warned that it's dangerous.

One day he meets another sea creature named Alberto, who already lives on land in secret.

When sea creatures go above water, they magically take on human form so no one can tell what they really are.

The two become fast friends and run away to a small Italian town hoping to enjoy summer family full of adventure, freedom and dreams of getting a real Vespa to travel the world.

Now, before we get started with the lesson, if you are new here, every single week we make new lessons just like this one with your favorite movies and TV series to help you understand fast speaking natives without getting lost, without missing the jokes spent without subtitles.

So join over 10 million English learners who are doing exactly that by by subscribing and hitting the bell down below.

In the scene we're about to watch, Luca and Alberto have just arrived in the small Italian town of Portorosso.

There they meet a girl named Giulia, who quickly becomes their friend and invites them to stay at her house.

Giulia spends every summer in Portorosso with her father Massimo, and

each year she takes part in a local race.

Massimo is a fisherman and lately he hasn't been catching many fish.

Because of that, he can't afford to pay the race entry fee for Giulia.

Luca and Alberto, excited to join the race with her as a team, decide to help out.

They offer to work for Massimo so they can all raise the money together.

All right, Razzi, you want that entry fee?

You keep an eye out for those sea monsters, right?

Alright, so now we are going to analyze all the advanced vocabulary we just saw highlighted in blue.

And if your goal is to learn these expressions and never forget them so you can actually use them when you speak, then you'll want to practice with this lesson on our own app.

It really helps you become more fluent, because on there, you don't just watch the lesson, you engage, interact and practice with the vocabulary.

So just click the link in the description below to continue from there.

You probably noticed a few Italian words in the clip.

That's because the movie takes place in a small Italian town and using the local language adds some nice cultural flavor.

Words like Buongiorno or ciao might already sound familiar.

They are often used in Italian music, movies, and even in everyday conversations around the world.

But if you haven't heard them before, don't worry, I'll explain what they mean along with some useful English expressions from the scene.

Massimo addresses the boys as Ragazzi, which corresponds to the English guys, or in this case, kids.

Entry stands here for entering or joining a race.

To participate in a race, they need to pay an entry fee.

It's a payment required to enter or take part in something.

When you work hard for something, instead of getting it for free, you earn it in everyday English.

People often say things like, you earned it to show respect or admiration when someone deserves what they got, like a prize, success, or even a rest.

And of course, you may use this word literally when talking about earning money.

Check out these two examples from the Simpsons.

How can I earn money to buy the world's most awesome thing?

I was alone out there, but someone was riding with me in spirit.

I'm on it is another great conversational phrase.

It's a quick way of saying, I'll take care of it.
